With PlayBook OS 2.0 now in the hands of the masses, there is still a lot of folks out there wondering where some of the apps RIM showcased are. One app in particular, Zinio -- has been a target for that question as many were hoping to have the app as soon as PlayBook OS 2.0 was made public. Sadly, you'll have to wait a little bit longer for it but you can take solace in knowing that it is coming. It's not just RIM saying it is, Zinio themselves took to Twitter to address the situation:

With over 6,000 new developers having signed up for PlayBook development there is a lot of apps that are still in the queue to be released. With each new day that passes, more apps will arrive and eventually Zinio will be among them.

Zinio reminds us all their BlackBerry PlayBook app is coming soon!

Here is an idea. I don't care if they are 6,000th in line. They get approved first. Or second maybe. There is no need for them to stay at the back of the line just to let a bunch of fart apps be approved. If they aren't in line yet, I hope it is soon.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Zinio is already "approved", it just isn't released.

There have NOT been a lot of new apps released today; even the Android apps are pretty much all ones that have been available for those running the Developer Preview. I can easily see the project people wanting to have resources ready to support users just with the OS upgrade without wanting to throw a bunch of new apps into the mix.

There are two things I want on my Playbook. No not Skype (I have it on my my phone, don't need it elsewhere) or Netflix (tried it here in Ireland, can't be bothered paying for it). What I want is Zinio and the ability to browse and stream video and musci from my home server.

Thankfully it would seem that at least Zinio is on its way. Hopefully it will not be censored in the same way that the Android and iOS versions are (I read playboy for the articles, no seriously I do....)

I'm one of the 6,000 new and approved developers. I've spent the last week or two making a couple of crappy apps, waiting to be approved, but hopefully I can get better. It's a fun platform to develop for! Adobe Flash Builder is really a great tool to use, too!

No disrespect intended for Zinio but I can understand the hostility that they have been receiving via Twitter from Playbook users. This company, beginning last September if not before, has been indicating that their app was "coming soon". I think there is a lot of frustration on the part of Playbook users whenever they see a company use the phrase "coming soon" which, in reality, means that you will be waiting seven, eight, nine or more months.

Yay a shitty Android port probably behind a bunch of other shitty Android ports! Android Player is an awful idea IMHO that will just allow developers to be lazy and since it is so late has delayed apps being available for the Playbook. I want Native apps, not knockoffs.

not high hopes. They released their app for HP Touchpad WebOS and it sucks completely. You cannot even zoom into a magazine. And if you have certain magazines in your collection that have any interactive content - then none of your library will load at all.

I'm going to keep a positive attitude about the whole situation. I've been waiting for this application for the longest. I just hope that with this long of a wait, they don't do to us BlackBerry abusers what "LinkedIn" did to us. For all of you that had that handheld app, you know exactly what I mean. I hope by the beginning of March, I will be reading my digital magazines.
